9. "Pardonnez-moi, je cherche a aller au Centre Pompidou."

Translation: "Excuse me, what’s the best way to get to the Pompidou museum?"

The Centre Pompidou is a very nice museum located in the dead center of Paris, next to Place du Chatelet, the Parisian equivalent of Times Square. The idea is that most Parisians go through Chatelet in a day and, with a bit of luck, the person you’re talking to is also going in that direction. The museum connotation is also a plus and your accent when pronouncing "pom-pi-doo" is sure to charm anyone.
